Recently imposed restrictions on fishing within the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) have resulted in the influx of migratory bird species from as far as Eastern Europe and Siberia. Conservationists had called for these restrictions due to increased wildlife sightings during the COVID-19 lockdown. Permitting fishing poses risks to rare wildlife, and efforts are underway to regulate fishing activities in a manner that minimizes disturbance to wildlife habitats. Despite concerns about livelihoods, conservationists advocate for limited fishing permits during times when migratory bird populations are less active.
